Nature and Wildlife

Rottnest Island’s unique ecosystem features a permanent salt lake system covering ten percent of its land area, including Lake Baghdad and Government House Lake. This list highlights the island's diverse habitats, from the hard coral colonies at Pocillopora Reef to the seasonal wetlands of Salmon and Lighthouse Swamps. These environments support specialized flora and significant birdlife, while coastal areas like Ricey Beach and Pinkie Beach showcase the marine diversity influenced by the warm Leeuwin Current.
